This same behavior can be observed on Instagram. Going back using webarea navigation or the toolbar back button does not recover the expected note. Only refreshing the page fixes the issue.

Thank you! We landed a patch on Jan 24 under bug 2011721 that should address this behavior for X, Facebook, Instagram, and other sites. I noticed that Github still has issues with the back button after that patch, so I think bug 2009452 is still valid.
